Stake: $2,541

POPPY VALENTINA (3) showed little early speed at her last couple, the latest finishing fifth (28.49) in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Smart beginner who should take advantage of the low draw. Better than last start and worth following up. WHISKEY AND WINE (6) has been settling off the speed lately, finishing fourth (17.20) last time in a Grade 4/5 at this track. Some good form is emerging from her last run. Should be about the mark. STAR OF ROSE (2) turned spotting a big start finishing seventh (24.82) last time in a Grade 5 at this track. Leading chance. EXCUSE (7) can finish much closer after missing a cheque at this track last start.

Comments

Has shown little speed out of the boxes and tends to spot them a start in her races, The latest effort was a 9 length fourth over 411m at this track. Other runners look much more appealing.

Has struggled to jump cleanly in recent outings and the results have been disappointing, the most recent effort a eighth over 300m at this track. Safely held last time and looking to others.
